Just wondering what's gonna fit on these tractors.  Are the standard front blades, mid mount graders, snow blowers, tillers, etc going to fit this tractor?  What fits and what doesn't?   

 

 

Also what blades are you guys running on the 60" deck?

Attachment interchange list:

 

 

The standard snow blades fit, but you have to get an extension kit that gives you a "bent arm" for turning the blade and adds 4" to the length for the swept axles.

 

Snow blowers you have to get a special lift bar that has a "kink" in so it doesnt hit the front axle, but its the same length.

 

Someone else will have to chime in on the deck blades.

I have a bent front snow blower arm here, always wondered why it was like that because it looked like a factory bend, thanks!  

 

Just ordered blades, I like the Gators, especially for 17.00  - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018U273O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

 

I have a few 42 and 48" blades with the adjusting arm you mentioned.  So I guess I have to find an extension arm.

Geno,

 

You can use the blades without the extension kit, but the blade will rub on the front tires when angled.

The extension kit should include three parts:

1)Rear bracket that lengthens the frame by 4"

2)Handle with a bend that brings it back far enough that you can reach it from your seat, and will clear the PTO

3)Frame brace with a new lift point.  Now that the frame is longer, the original lift point is too far forward.

 

If you are lucky, you might also get a bar that gives you down pressure on the blade.  Very similar to the bar on the mid-mount grader blade.

Anybody got pics of any of these parts?

Geno, I will be willing to bet you already have all the parts for this in your collection. I think I saw the frame brace on a plow in your CL ad. (I got your message, you can just call back whenever convenient for you)

That frame   brace is something somebody welded on there.
